WHY LEARN WEB ANALYTICS?
![Page 3: NYC UXPA: 2014 - Bringing Together User Experience and Web Analytics (Michael Beasley)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54c7aa864a79590f1d8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Bringing Together User Experience and Web Analytics 3
Why Use Web Analytics for UX?
• Data on real-world user behavior
• Gathers data about practically every user
• Gathers data “just in case”
But why should you learn to use these tools?

Why Learn the Tools, Part 1
Analysis is an iterative process
![Page 5: NYC UXPA: 2014 - Bringing Together User Experience and Web Analytics (Michael Beasley)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54c7aa864a79590f1d8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Bringing Together User Experience and Web Analytics 5
Small Questions Have Limited Value
“What screen sizes do our users have?”
“How many users are on mobile devices?”
“What are the most popular pages on our site?”
“How many users have JavaScript turned off?”
![Page 6: NYC UXPA: 2014 - Bringing Together User Experience and Web Analytics (Michael Beasley)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54c7aa864a79590f1d8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Bringing Together User Experience and Web Analytics 6
Broad Questions are Too Broad
“What are users doing on our site?”
“What are the most common paths through our site?”
“What are users looking for?”
“Are our users successful?”
